An Afterthought

I got busted big time for the deleted entry... Not in a bad way, but I suppose with all I've been going through lately, and the dark places I have been and shared with you, it was only natural for some to be concerned. While I appreciate that greatly, and give thanks from my heart for those that emailed me or sent peaceful thoughts my way, I regret worrying anyone needlessly.

It wasn't so much that the entry needed to be deleted at all, really. I have been compelled on occasion to delete, and it's something I have been working on. But in this case it wasn't about me. It was mainly about my daughter.

It started off with our fiasco yesterday at the ER (yet again.... we were just there last week ~ now BOTH hands are under wraps!!). She cut her hand with a steak knife and needed stitches. I then went on and on about some things she's been dealing with both now and in the past. I felt comfortable as I wrote, but then there came the afterthought... The "maybe I shouldn't have said all that I did" afterthought. I didn't disclose certain information, and yet I felt as though I had said more than I should have. My daughter's privacy came into question, and that stopped my breath for a moment. I'm extremely sensitive to their well being, as any mom would be. Perhaps even more so due to past experiences. Maybe I would have felt safer, had I written in my private journal, but alas, the words were out there, and I knew I would not sleep unless I put them to memory. It was late, and it had been a long day, so I did not take time to explain. I'm sorry if I had you all worried, my dear friends. Thank you for caring and for letting me know.

I saw that you deleted your post, but I didn't think to be worried, just figured that you reconsidered the post. I understand completely being worried about your daughter's privacy online. While more than likely nothing bad would have happened, when it comes to your children, its always better to err on the safe side of the spectrum.

i am glad you are ok. If you feel concerned, maybe post it privately. I quit talking about anything of substance period in J Land honestly due to worries so i do understand what you are saying.love,lisa
